"The intuitive mind is a sacred gift and the rational mind is a faithful servant. We have created a society that honors the servant and has forgotten the gift." ~ Albert Einstein

Instructions for life by Dali Lama
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don't lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three R’s:

Respect for self
Respect for others and
Responsibility for all your actions.

4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don't let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you've made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don't let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.

15. Be gentle with the earth.

18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
19. Approach love and cooking with reckless abandon.

I love, play, learn, and work. In that order with multiple combinations of any and all of them.

The phrase "Jack of all trades and master of none" fits me quite well.

Everyone sees what they want to see.

Books
The Dictionary
A Midsummer's Night Dream by Shakespeare
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass and What Alice Found There by Lewis Carroll
I'm currently in the middle of The Sword of Truth series by Terry Goodkind. It's an amazing and horrible fantasy series.
Tolkien will always the the man and Anne Rice will always be the woman.
Recently become a big fan of political comedy. Al Franken being my favorite.
I DO like Michael Crichton, Stephen King, and Thomas Harris. Liking such mainstream authors makes me no less well-read, intelligent, or enriched as you are. They are well written, easy reads with good story lines. Hence, why they have sold millions.
Movies
I love all movies. I particularly love really bad multi million dollar comedies. My long list of favorites include Anchorman, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Rocky Horror Picture Show. I also really like Zhang Yimou and Ang Lee films (and it has absolutely nothing to do with brokeback mountain) .
Music
I like all music except for Christian and Inspiration music.
Food
I love to eat.
I love to cook.
I'm currently vegan.
Favorite foods include california style burritos, pizza, asian style noodle dishes.

My family.
My best half and love of my life Rachel.
My cat, Little Girl.
The sunshine.
Delicious food.
Music.
